Concerns have been raised over the number of unaccompanied asylum seeking children at hotels on the Nottinghamshire border, and "the robust nature of the age assessment process" prior to their arrival.
It comes as Government plans to house 400 asylum seekers in some local hotels have sparked fears this could endanger children, create community tensions, and place 'unbearable strain' on schools and local NHS services such as GPs and midwives, a local council has said.
Hundreds of asylum seekers have been housed in Best Western and Novotel hotels on Bostocks Lane, on the road between Long Eaton and Sandiacre.
